Your Ultimate SPF & Surf Routine: Stay Protected, Look Radiant

Your Ultimate SPF & Surf Routine: Stay Protected, Look Radiant

When the ocean calls, you answer. But before you paddle out, it's time to gear up with the right skincare essentials to keep your skin protected while you chase waves. In this guide, we dive into the must-have products and tips for a seamless sun-protection routine.
Whether you're catching morning swells or enjoying a sunset session, here’s how to stay sun-safe without missing a moment of the fun.

Why Natural SPF Matters

Choosing a natural SPF isn’t just a trend—it’s a skincare essential for anyone spending
time outdoors. Natural sunscreens use mineral filters like zinc oxide to create a physical
barrier that reflects harmful UV rays, unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb into your
skin. If you’re a water baby who’s serious about skin health, switching to natural SPF can
make all the difference in preventing damage while keeping your skin glowing.

Here’s the ultimate breakdown of the best surf zinc and mineral SPF essentials to add to
your daily routine:

1. BUTTA BLOCK Tinted Mineral Beauty Zinc SPF 50+

This tinted mineral SPF50+ is the perfect all-in-one solution for sun protection and a flawless complexion. Formulated with non-nano zinc oxide, it offers broad-spectrum protection without the sticky residue that traditional surf zinc can leave behind. It’s ultra-hydrating with key ingredients like Olive squalene and Kakadu plum, delivering moisture and antioxidants to keep your skin radiant. It’s sheer, hydrating, and blends effortlessly—perfect for post- 
surf catch-ups without feeling cakey or chalky.
Pro Tip: Apply generously to face, neck & don't forget your ears, before hitting the water and reapply after every swim or every two hours for all-day protection.

2. Premium Retractable Kabuki Brush

Gone are the days of messy zinc application. Our premium retractable kabuki brush pairs perfectly with tinted mineral beauty zinc for an even, airbrushed finish. Plus, it’s compact enough to throw in your surf bag, so you can touch up effortlessly between sessions.
Why You Need It: It ensures an even application of your mineral SPF and avoids
patchiness, so your coverage stays strong from dawn patrol to dusk.

3. Balm to Oil Cleanser 

After a long day in the ocean, your skin deserves some TLC. This balm-to-oil cleanser
removes all traces of surf zinc, sweat, and saltwater while nourishing your skin with
hydrating plant-based oils. A clean slate sets you up for healthy, balanced skin.

Expert Tips for hydrated & glowing skin :

1. Max SPF50+Coverage : Choose maximum UBA +UBV broad spectrum mineral sunscreen

2. Don’t Forget Your Hairline and Ears : These are often overlooked but can be prone to sunburn. Our retractable Kabuki brush helps reach these tricky areas.

3. Reapply Consistently : The salt and surf can wear down your SPF quicker than you think. Keep your Butta Block tinted mineral beauty zinc SPF50+ handy for quick touch-ups.

4. Hydrate Inside and Out : After sun exposure, be sure to hydrate with plenty of water and moisturise your skin with an oil based serum to keep it healthy and supple.
